He disclosed his decision to his cabinet secretly at Chapultepec cas- tle late Friday and the ministers also stepped aside to give congress and the president to be selected a free hand. The president’s resignation was en- trusted to Gen. Juan Jose Rios, sec- retary of the interior, who announced early Saturday the document would be handed to the 35th congress at its second session. Ortiz Rubio stepped down a little over two and one-half years after he had been inaugurated to serve the remaining four years of the late Alvaro Obregon’s six-year term.

Usually victory at the June primaries for Republican candi-; dates is tantamount to a victory in November. With few exceptions North Dakota political history confirms such a trend. No one can tell what is in the back of the voters’ heads at this time, insofar as personal preference for the various offices is concerned. But; any observer must note that voters are almost unanimous for a new deal in state as well as national affairs, The arguments used in the state campaign by those sccking state offices may now be placed in the discard. Voters want to hear a con- structive plan for the future. Vituperation and abuse are not going to be popular on the hustings when the campaign opens in earnest. Upon the shoulders of the Republicans and Democrats rests a great/ obligation. North Dakota faces a serious crisis to which the voters should be alert. They should eliminate ballyhoo and debunk florid oratory and impossible promises. No set of political candidates, whatever their brand, will bring back | prosperity to this state through the espousal of claptrap and panaceas. Neither will a housecleaning of those holding subordinate jobs help the situation materially. One candidate at least has announced in stentorian in some quarters is necessary and long overdue. The clamor for jobs will be very great and the rush for the official pie-counter in excess of anything this fair state has seen. Probably every job and many more not! existent have been promised several times in the primary quest for votes. That is a common practice of all political factions regardless of | labels. It is a pathetic aftermath of all campaigns that many efficient If it were possible some form of limited state civil service to govern | public service.

SHAFER OPPOSED TO EMBARGO ON WHEAT Governor Says Proposed Use of Military Force Is Con- trary to Law Devils Lake, N. D.. Sept. 3—(7—' Governor George F. Shafer Saturday | refused to declare an embargo of wheat in North Dakota and to pre- vent grain shipments by use of mili- tary force, he said in answer to a re- quest by Dell Willis, Tolna, sponsor; of “dollar wheat” plan. Willis asked the governor if he would join Governors Erickson of Montana, Green of South Dakota and Olson of Minnesota in declaring an embargo. “I have given a good deal of! thought to this subject and I feel that its success depends upon the voluntary cooperation of the farm-; er and such cooperation cannot be secured by the use of military force in the hands of the public officials. “The farmers of North Dakota have the right under the constitution of the U. 8. to ship their wheat or any ether property to another for any lawful purpose and the free exercise of that right cannot be interfered with or prevented by the governors of.the states, under either civil or) military law. “Under our state constitution, mar- tial Isw, which means the use of military force, can only be employed in enforcing existing’ civil law. It cannot be employed as a means of repealing or replacing civil law or to destroy the constitutional right of the people.” MOLLISON SAILS FOR HOME Quebec. Sept. 3.—()—Captain J A.

At Marshfield, Wis., several thou- sand farmers debated whether to join the farmers holiday movement and withhold their agricultural products from the market until a satisfactory price is realized. National Farmers’ Union leaders were confident Wiscon- sin would be in the holiday proces- sion by nightfall. Sioux City was blockaded from the northwest by pickets who patrolled the main highways leading to that city from South Dakota, but to the west, the farmers along the Nebraska roads respected the truce called by Milo Reno, president of the Farmers Holiday association, and some pro- nie rolled unchallenged into mar- et. Organization Goes Ahead The farmers’ strike call in South Dakota was deferred pending the re- sults of the governors’ conference at Sioux City Sept. 9, but organization work went on regardless. The Farm- ers Holiday association estimated 20, 000 South Dakota farmers had joined the movement. The strike was to start next Monday. Goy, F. B. Olson of Minnesota gave aid to the movement in general by urging farmers of his state to with- hold non-perishable produce from the market until after midwest gov- ernors meet in Sioux City, Sept. 9. The confeernce is designed to set- tle the controver: between pro- for agriculturel products. Pickets in the Siot rity vicinity praised Governor Roosevelt's conduct lof the hearing. ‘Had No Defense’ “Mr. Walker had no defense,” Sea- bury said. “It was conclusively prov- ult of his mayoralty. “The elimination of Walker asj mayor of this city is a distinct vic- tory for higher standards of public life, and in the elevation of this stan-} dard Governor Roosevelt did much to contribute by reason of the man- ing. as to whether Walker, conceding he | at the city hall were understood to held in November to fill the vacancy.

Meanwhile it was learned that farm strike organizations have beer perfected in 40 of Minnesota’s 817 ccunties, but it was indicated by John Bosch of Atwater, Minn., pres- ident of the Minnesota Farmers’ Holiday association that a strike call would be withheld pending the out- come of the governors’ meeting. Telegram Inspires Statement Gov. Olson's suggestion for farm- ers to withhold their non-perishable products was made Friday night at Duluth, where he stopped en route to Minneapolis from Two Harbors, Minn. It came in the form of a statement issued following receipt of @ message from Carlos W.

Park Director Will Make Bad Lands Trip Passing through Bismarck Satur- day en route to Fort Yates, Senator Gerald P. Nye announced that Hor- ace M, Albright, director of national parks, will make a survey trip through the Bad Lands, beginning next Wednesday. The object of the tour will be to estimate the possibilities of the area for a national park as long has been urged by North Dakota citizens. Nye, together with Congressman J. H. Sinclair, will accompany Albright as will M. H.

County Farmers’ Holiday associa- tion. Goltz asked for a gubernatorial proclamation against the marketing of produce. Both merchants and stockyards men in Sioux City were complaining that the strike was having a detri- mental effect on their business. The merchants said their sales had been decreased because of the reluctance of out-of-town buyers to go through the lines of strike pickets along the highways. Many men have been laid off in the packing plants, the stock- yards men reported. adding the strike was costing them thousands of dol- lars every day. Although Reno, recently declared truce pending the meme confer. ence, plans were under way to extend the holiday movement. John Cal- mers, Iowa chairman of the Farmer: National Holiday association, said all Towa county leaders would gather at Des Moines Sent. 6 to formulate plans for spreading the strike and to out- line proposals for submission to the governors’ conference. Turner Denies Report Gov. Dan Turner of Iowa denied at Des Moines last night he had ordered State Agent Baker at Sioux City to begin a campaign to clear highways in the vicinity, making use of what deputies were necessary.
